ACTIVISTS PREVENT ISRAELI SHIP FROM UNLOADING AT US PORT
Report, The Electronic Intifada, 21 June 2010

For the first time in US history, a peaceful protest was able to stop workers from unloading an Israeli cargo ship
on Sunday, 20 June, in the San Francisco Bay area. From 5:30am until 7pm, social justice activists and labor union
organizers blocked and picketed several entrances at the Port of Oakland, preventing two shifts of longshoremen
with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union ILWU to come to work and unload the Israeli Zim Lines cargo
ship.

for two new scientific research grants from the European Union. Israel's attacks on Gaza in late 2008 and 2009
provided its air force with an opportunity to experiment with state-of-the-art pilotless drones such as the Heron.

BOOK REVIEW: VICTOR KATTAN'S LEGAL HISTORY OF THE COLONIZATION OF PALESTINE
By Mazen Masri, The Electronic Intifada, 19 June 2010

In order to understand how the law works, one needs to situate it in its political and historical context,
otherwise it loses its relevance. That's what Victor Kattan's new book From Coexistence to Conquest does. It is
a novel attempt to examine the legal history of the Israeli-Arab conflict, describing law as one factor among
many that shaped the development of events. Mazen Masri reviews.
